1:02 am
foster and bianca nobilo. >> the mid-term elections are just a week away now. the vote will decide which party controls congress and right now republicans are confident they'll win. >> according to the latest projections they have the edge over democrats in the house but in the senate it's a much closer race. >> reporter: the battle for control of the united states senate. we'll bring that up, red, solidly republican, blue, solidly democrat. we see pink, light blue leaning one way or the other but zero in on these three yellow states, ne nevada, pennsylvania and georgia. the party that wins two of three of these states likely to be the party that controls the united states senate. we got some fresh polling from some of these key states. let's start out west. "new york times" sienna.
1:03 am
dead heat, 47% to 47%. no clear leader. well within the margin of error. this is going to go to the very end. next door to arizona, the democrats with a little bit of an edge. mark kelly, 51%, blake masters, 45% of likely voters according to today's "new york times" poll. a slight edge for the democrats there then we cross the country over to georgia and once again, we're inside the margin of error. no clear leader. democrat ral fair warnock at 49%, herschel walker 46%. we may not know senate control until december. >> both parties are sending their biggest stars to the campaign trail. former president donald trump will appear. for democrats, barack obama and joe biden will campaign in at
1:04 am
least five. >> former vice president mike pence is in georgia and kamala harris will try to secure votes in boston. more than 21 million ballots have been cast. that's one of the highest turnouts. in some states it's already outpacing record levels from 2018. the man accused of breaking into the u.s. home of house speaker nancy pelosi now faces a long list of charges including attempted murder and attempted kidnapping. here's san francisco's district attorney on the motive behind the assault. >> can you definitively say this was obviously politically motivated. >> yes. it appears as though this was, based on his statements and comments that were made in that house that this was politically motivated. >> paul pelosi suffered a skull fracture and other injuries during the attack and is making
1:05 am
steady progress on what will be a long recovery. whitney wild is following more developments in the case. >> attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elderly abuse, burglary. >> reporter: new details as attempted assault and kidnapping. the complaint says the suspect, 42-year-old david depape was carrying rope, zip ties, two pairs of gloves and a hammer looking to kidnap the speak jr. >> this has been a very, very jarring, i think, event. >> reporter: according to the affidavit, the suspect hit pelosi in the head hard enough to knock him out when police arrived after a small struggle over the hammer ensued. >> this is intentional, not random. >> reporter: the fbi wanted to
1:06 am
wait in the house with depape. he told investigators he was, quote, going to hold nancy hostage and talk to her. if nancy were to tell depape the truth he would let her go and if she lied he was going to, quote, break her kneecaps. he was certain nancy would not have told the truth. at one point the suspect let paul pelosi into the bathroom where he called 911. p police say he grabbed the hammer. he said the husband would be taking the punishment instead. depape is facing up to 50 years in prison if convicted on felony charges. state charges are also expected to be filed. police have been reluctant to define the motivation publicly but the complaint says he was
1:07 am
trying to interfere with pelosi's work. >> it is a very, very sad state of affairs. with all of the rhetoric that's out there, conspiracy theories that are out there. >> reporter: speaker pelosi saying the attacker demanded to confront me and brutally attack paul. our children, grandchildren and i are heart broken at the attack on our pop. >> he did turn and use the hammer against the speaker's husband in a manner that appeared that he was intending to kill him. >> reporter: investigators found a sword and gloves in the area depape was living. he could face 13 years up to life in prison. whitney wild, cnn, washington. u.s. federal judge says mark meadows must appear before the
1:08 am
january 6th committee. the judge dismissed a challenge to his subpoena to appear saying there is evidence meadows participated in efforts to challenge the 2020 election. meadows argues he has executive privilege and the subpoena violates his constitutional rights. the judge says he can appeal the ruling. donald trump's lawyers have asked the supreme court to put a hold on the turnover of his tax returns. the house committee, the emergency request comes just days after an appeals court cleared the way for the release of those reports. the democrat controlled house has been pursuing them for years. trump was the first u.s. president in decades to keep his tax returns secret. u.s. supreme court is now considering whether colleges and universities can continue to take race into consideration as a factor in admissions. affirmative action supporters fear the conservative majority on the court could eliminate the practice that's been widely benefitting black and hispanic students. here's chief justice john
1:09 am
roberts. >> i don't see how you can say that the program will ever end. your position is that race matters because it's necessary for diversity, which is necessary for the sort of education you want. it's not going to stop mattering at some particular point. you're always going to have to look at race because you say race matters to give us the necessary diversity. >> the justices are revisiting a ruling from 1978 that allows affirmative action policies in college admissions. they heard arguments on monday and as jessica snietd der reports the conservative justices appear ready to overturn race-based policies. >> reporter: this conservative court does seem poised to end affirmative action even if it isn't immediately. throughout the five hours of questioning the conservative justices seem to seize on two lines of questioning. first, they asked why race neutral factors couldn't be enough to create the diversity that college campuses are looking for. second, they really asked when
1:10 am
is enough enough when it comes to affirmative action and asking these questions the chief justice john roberts along with justices amy coney barrett and brett kavanaugh, they seem to be seizing on a 2003 opinion that did uphold affirmative action but it was an opinion written by justice sandra day o'connor. she said maybe after 25 years affirmative action wouldn't be necessary anymore. this spring will mark 20 years since that decision so it's possible the justices are really seizing on that time frame to potentially justify winding down or ending affirmative action. of course, the liberal justices pushed back on this saying race is often a crucial factor in a student's identity, that it's needed to create college diversity, affirmative action is. of course, this was a case where the group that brought it, they lost at the lower courts but now it could be a different situation here at the supreme court. the supreme court does seem poised to side to end affirmative action. we'll know more probably
1:11 am
sometime next year in spring or early summer when the supreme court issues its opinions. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. one of the attorneys defending affirmative action before the supreme court tells cnn's jake tapper he's confident in his case and the students he represents. >> we've seen this a few times already over the last 20 years when people thought that either affirmative action programs would be reversed at the university of texas austin, the university of michigan nearly 20 years ago. had two cases in the court actually upheld race conscious admissions. so it seems like everybody is always doom and gloom around these issues but what ultimately ends up prevailing is the reasonableness of the law and race conscious admissions as one way of helping under represented students of color access higher education and these are highly talented students of color who
1:12 am
often are overlooked in the normal admissions process. so we feel really confident. >> he went on to say that race-based policies should be reviewed case by case in the legal system and argues that wiping out affirmative action altogether would be dangerous. riots groups condemning the border patrol after they fired pepper balls at a group of migrants. >> the shots were fired across the rear ground between techs i could he and mexico. they did it to disbeers the mexican migrants. the riots groups have called it appalling and highly alarming. now illinois state police are searching for the people responsible for shooting 30 people and hitting one with a car on monday. the youngest person hit was a 3-year-old child. police are desperate for more information. >> it's an unfortunate situation
1:13 am
to find a 3-year-old and some young people being shot in this particular case. it's heart breaking. >> we do have some video of this incident on a pod so we have some preliminary information regarding this. we know it's a drive-by. we know it happens in just a few seconds. it begins and then it's over by three seconds. the car is over after driving by and shooting randomly willingly into the crowd. let's right now treat this in the most urgent way. we're trying to find an offender. if anyone knows anything about this, please come forward. none of the wounds were fatal but several of those shot were in hospital in serious condition. they believe at least two shooters were in the car behind the attack. >> we'll bring you the latest as these come in to cnn. it's just after 10 in the
1:14 am
morning in ukraine where the mayor of kyiv who says water and power has been fully restored 24 hours after the russians targeted critical infrastructure. still he warns, power cuts will be necessary due to significant impact of russia's attacks. >> on monday ukraine's military said it was able to shoot down 45 of 55 russian missiles. vladimir putin says those are not all his military can do. >> selma abdelaziz has more from kyiv. you heard more sirens this morning. >> reporter: yes, just about an hour ago, max and bianca, we heard air raid sirens go off. unclear if it hit any targets. it was around this time yesterday missile attacks resulted to water being cut off, electricity being cut off to hundreds of thousands. yes, there's warnings to the mayor and others that this is going to continue. even though life is getting harder, in a sense what we're
1:15 am
seeing is a sense of solidarity. i want to show you how and why that is. what you're looking at behind me are russian tanks, burnt out and on the front lines. they've been brought to the central square here in kyiv to send a message, we stand behind our troops. we will not back down. it's a really important space for ukrainians. any time an international dell will he grace comes here, ukrainian officials come here. you often see families taking pictures. life is getting tougher. we're heading into the winter. families wonder how they'll operate without run water and electricity, there's a sense of solidarity and resistance, max and bianca. >> in terms of the power cuts, selma, when they take out these installations, how easy is it to get them back on? >> reporter: it's becoming harder and harder every time. you have to understand that for weeks now ukraine's infrastructure, the critical infrastructure has been struck time and time again.
1:16 am
that means it's become so precarious, so damaged, so fragile that it's difficult to bring it back up. ukrainian officials say they're running out of the basic equipment they need to even repair their power grids. we often talk about president zelenskyy appealing for weapons and help on the front line, now he's appealing for help with civilian infrastructure. he's called on his allies and partners to send anything they can, generators, power equipment, whatever they can to prepare the country for the winter. >> selma in central kyiv, thank you so much. seeing those tanks, someone taking pictures outside the tanks. >> and posing on the tanks. the symbolism of them is immense. still ahead, supporters of brazilian president bolsinaro protesting on the streets after he lost his bid for president. joe biden with more details

the supreme court has ordered all public roads and highways to be cleared for protesting bolsinaro supporters. >> the demonstrations were led by truckers. >> the protesters blocked san paolo's airport. paula newton is on the scene at one of the protests in the city. >> the results of this election in brazil may be in, but the protesters here, they're not having any of it.
1:22 am
all over brazil. there have been these kinds of protests going on on roads and highways from one end of the country to another. this is a major highway leading into the downtown area and through to the airport. have a look here. we have protesters encroaching on a major highway. they are looking for support and they are getting it here as well. the issue for them is they are saying it doesn't matter if boll si narrow concedes. they are saying they will stay out here as long as necessary creating chaos for the country. so as far as they're concerned, boll si narrow won. take a listen. >> translator: we have a president that won at the ballot box and they put the other candidate ahead. we're against that. even if boll si narrow accepts the people will not accept it. the power comes from the people. the people were the ones who put
1:23 am
bolsinaro there and we will remove him as well. >> reporter: the division is now being vented on the streets. if you look here, they will at times pull into traffic, continue to block traffic and then come back to the barriers. police are here and they're trying to be here in force, but what they are saying is that they want to try and de-escalate the situation. we're hearing this from authorities across the country. they are negotiating a way to keep them safe, to let them protest but also not to come in in a forceful way. they do not want to motivate people to escalate this protest further and continue to block more roads. this will be a tense situation though in days to come especially as they are saying it does not matter what bolsonaro says at this point or the international community, they are determined. they will be out here having these protests as long as it takes. cnn, san paolo, brazil.
1:24 am
right now israel's holding its fifth general election in less than four years. you're looking at live pictures of benjamin netanyahu casting his ballot. >> when they close in 12 hours we'll get an idea whether benjamin netanyahu can pull off a win. his bloc could fall short of a majority. voter exacerbation over the political deadlock could lead to lower voter turnout. >> hadas gold has the story. what are the chances he makes a political comeback? i think we're having some technical issues with hadas. >> he's looking confident.
1:25 am
incredible story. >> it is. regardless of who wins this, they're going to have such difficulties trying to form a coalition. >> it is amazing to see, we were talking about how disengaged the public are there. we've seen that a lot in recent elections, haven't we? you have this fast turn around in leaders. people become detached particularly in a cost of living crisis. you consider the surge of violence in israel in the region, in the disputed countries. higher voter turnout. >> we'll see whether he's back in power later on today. communication problems with hadas. it does happen. take interviews there. we'll bring you the highlights later. now you may not need to turn on the seat heaters in the car this morning if you live in the midwest. there may finally be some relief from the historic drought in the northwest. >> meteorologist pedram javaheri has more from the cnn weather
1:26 am
center. tell us more. >> plenty of warmth as typically seeing much colder temperatures and the first snow showers of the season. nothing like that in the forecast. eastern half of the u.s. big-time warmth in place. max noted warm weather in the northwest and cool across that region as well. want to show you the disparate of warmth. in minneapolis, minnesota, it's 50. 76 degrees by the time you get to wednesday afternoon. compare that to las vegas at around 62 degrees on wednesday. incredible disparate between what is playing out across portions of the northern u.s. and southwestern u.s. the record temperature that's in store on wednesday would shatter the previous record from the 1970s of 72 degrees for this time of year. notice, it's not just one day. three days of temps into the 70s where 50 is normal. it drops off sharply by the time we get back to friday and saturday and colder air is on
1:27 am
the horizon. rapid city from the 70s down to the 30s in the next several days. all of that cooler air does set up shop across portions of the northern plains. back around the northwest, that's where the wet weather has been in place. even significant amount of wet weather where heavy snowfall can come down. beneficial wet weather. some areas can see 14 inches of wet snow and the winter weather elements not the only weather concern across the area of the great basin. in fact, winds here could gust to tropical force winds into the deserts of the southwest. speaking of tropical storm, there's one there. just as we said, the 30th of november is the final day of hurricane season. not officially done with it quite just yet. notice the system, 45 mile per hour winds. tropical storms. lisa is expected to strengthen to a category 1 hurricane impacting as early as wednesday afternoon. the rain going to be the primary

one week away. the vote will decide who controls congress. right now republicans are confident they'll win. the man accused of breaking in to the house of nancy pelosi are facing charges of attempted murder and attempted kidnapping. more on these stories on "early start." let's take a look at u.s. futures ahead of the next big announcement from the federal reserve. right now they're kind of in the red, not doing so well this morning. the fed meets on wednesday and is expected to hike interest rates again ahead of the october jobs report. u.s. markets dipped on monday but actually they had a very good month. the dow ended up in october up 14%. the best monthly gain in more than 45 years and the nasdaq rose 45% and the s&p roz 8%. oil companies like exxon have seen their stocks suddenly climb all year. in recent days several global
1:33 am
energy giants have posted massive profits and in the last hour bp said the third quarter profit more than doubled from a year earlier. u.s. president joe biden is calling out major gas companies for racking up record profits with a surge in prices at the pump. this coming days ahead of mid-term elections as the economy and inflation remains key issues for voters. cnn's m.j. lee has more from the white house. >> reporter: as the white house has continued to grapple with the issue of high gas prices, we've seen president biden continuously return to the issue of oil companies and their profits and we saw him do this again in a speech on monday from the white house where, one, he said the companies that are making the record profits, they need to do something to help lower gas prices and, two, boost production. you see a bit of exasperation in his remarks where he said give me a break. enough is enough. take a listen.
1:34 am
>> rather than increasing our investments in america or giving consumers a break, their excess profits are going back to shareholders and buying back the stocks. give me a break. enough is enough. look, i'm a capitalist. you've heard me say this before. i have no problem with corporations turning a fair profit and getting a return on their investment but this isn't remotely what's happening. >> reporter: in the speech on monday the president suggested he wanted to work with congress to figure out some ideas and ways to potentially punish some of these oil and energy companies if they don't pay it forward and try to help bring down consumer prices. some of the ideas that have been discussed include windfall corporate taxes, also other restrictions to, again, go after some of these companies but it is important to note that these ideas would require congressional approval. something that is just simply not going to happen given the makeup of congress right now but all of this really does go to
1:35 am
show that a week out from election day the issue of inflation and especially high gas prices, they remain top of mind for this president and democrats. m.j. lee, cnn, the white house. inflation here in europe has accelerated to highs as energy and prices saw prices jump an annual rate of more than 10% in october. >> energy prices jumped 42% year over year while food, alcohol and tobacco increased more than 13%. inflation in germany, shot up to more than 11%. >> much of the economic worry is fueled by the war in ukraine. the european union is condemning russia's efforts for not participating in the export of food and grain. >> we have claire sebastian.
1:36 am
it's well ahead of expectations and forecasts. >> it's food and energy. energy prices rose more than 41% year on year. that was acceleration. as you noted, prices up some 13%. all of this is compounding these events that we've been seeing over the last few months. now this grain deal has the suspension of it by russia has the power to make things worse. it's worth noting that this was not happening in a vacuum. yes, this war has made inflation worse. before it started in february of this year inflation in both the u.k. and eu was close to 6%. in the u.s. it was close to 6%. this is because of the supply bottleneck, the fact that demand was outdating supply in a lot of areas. that would have started to abate and growth would have accelerated the services. the war and the acceleration as a result of that have put pay to those sort of silver linings we might have seen.
1:37 am
now this is persistent even in the u.s. which is less exposed to this war. inflation is proving very persistent over at 8%. >> what efforts are being made to bring russia back to the deal and what's the impact of the suspension beyond europe? >> we're seeing a lot of diplomatic overtures. the turkish side is doing it and the ump.n., they're trying to dl with russia's grievances. we knew they were unhappy with this. i think russia is leaving the door open. they're clearly trying to hang on to this leverage that they have. they're allowing these overages but meanwhile this grain deal, this was not a solution to the problem. this was an emergency sort of band aid. even the insurance companies have banned together to provide emergency coverage and now one of them, as paul said, that they can't do this. they're taking a pause. this is very serious for the situation when it comes to hunger in the world. >> claire sebastian, thanks so much.
1:38 am
the climate crisis is being felt across much of the united states and out west they're seeing droughts and receding water levels. >> u.s. government map shows how much of the country is experiencing these extreme conditions. dark red you see the areas most impacted there. >> if that weren't difficult enough, the rising cost of water has the potential to make a bad situation worse. rene marsh has the story. >> reporter: miles of brittle uprooted almond trees lay flat in california. drought tightening water restrictions and now skyrocketing water prices have forced farmers to sacrifice their crops. this is what a thirsty city on the verge of running out of water looks like. >> we can't continue this. it's not sustainable for our community. >> reporter: city councilman says it was set to run out of
1:39 am
water by mid to late november and had to turn to the open market to buy water to make up the short fall. the city was short 600 acre feet of water. that's the equivalent of 300 olympic size pools. last week they finalized the water purchase from a california public irrigation district. the price tag for one of life's most basic necessities, roughly $1.1 million. the same amount of water used to cost the city $114,000. >> i was floored. i could not believe that they could sell water at that price but that was actually a cheap rate. that's the cheapest rate we found. >> the index that tracks water indexes show that price of water has gone from over $200 in 2019 to more than $1,000 today for the amount of water it would take to fill half of an olympic size pool. >> people are making money off of less water availability and that's hurting real people, real farmers and real communities. >> hi, everybody.
1:40 am
>> reporter: california state senator melissa hertado and a bipartisan group in a letter sent this august urged the u.s. justice department to investigate, quote, potential drought profiteering. she suspects there could be water gouging. >> i'm not a farmer and this keeps me up at night. >> reporter: cnn was there as she met with a group of farmers raising alarm by high water prices. >> how can we work out a plan? >> d.e. gruber and her husband tom grow 11 different crops. they estimate the water needed to grow one of their crops, walnuts, will cost $40,000. >> it would have cost us more in water than what we're going to get for our walnuts. >> reporter: the justice department in an email to hertado said her complaint was forwarded to the appropriate legal staff for further review. the agency declined comment to cnn on what if any investigative
1:41 am
actions it might take as this dwindling resource becomes more expensive to come by. >> we're a very poor community. these people cannot afford a thousand percent increase in their water bills. >> reporter: the city said they approved a grant to offset the million dollar water bill which is good news for the people in the city. that's the $1 million price tag for a relatively small amount of water. so can california afford to keep compensating drought stricken cities like coalinga as the drought crisis continues? this will not cover farmers and cnn spoke to farmers who are warning that the current high water prices in the state will drive food prices nationwide even higher. rene marsh, cnn, washington. still to come in this hour, calls for safety reforms in south korea after saturday's deadly crowd surge. the changes that the president wants to see ahead. plus, the death toll rises

at least 156 people have died from saturday's tragedy in seoul, south korea. to honor the victims south koreans have been laying flowers as memorials in seoul. >> the nation's president paid his respects at this site and he also called for new safety measures to prevent further disasters. cnn's ivan watson joins us from seoul. i think the reality here is we're learning there weren't any safety measures in place for this particular event. >> reporter: no. and korean authorities are kind of evolving how they're describing preparations or lack thereof for saturday night, what turned out into this deadly
1:46 am
disaster. we hear that the prime minister has said that there was a, quote, lack of institutional knowledge and consideration for crowd management. meanwhile, the head of the south korean police have said that there were many emergency calls prior to the ultimate crowd surge that led to all of the loss of life and that there had not been an adequate response from the police to that. according to statistics published by the subway system, more than 130,000 people came through this subway station on saturday night. there are estimates that there may have been 100,000 people partying in the surrounding alli ways and streets here and the police have said that there were only about 136 police officers deployed to deal with this gathering and most of them were assigned to try to be on the lookout for illegal narcotics or
1:47 am
to make sure that they were there to stop sexual assault. they were not there for the mission of crowd management. take a listen to what else the police chief had to say. >> translator: the calls were about the emergency telling about the danger and emergency that a large crowd had gathered before the accident had occurred, however, we think the police response to the 112 calls was inadequate. >> reporter: so this is just a terrible price to pay for a lesson in how to have to manage large crowds. the police have said normally they're ready for things like protests or sports events that have an organizer. there was not one organizer for what was essentially a giant disorganized street party. again, 156 people dying and as you can see, it is still a very sad scene here just steps away from where all of these young

people lost their lives. >> really striking scene. ivan, thank you so much for bringing us that. trying to make sense of it at this point, aren't they, and comprehend what happened. meanwhile, this is all that's left after a tragic bridge collapse in india. police have arrested nine indiv individuals. >> those in custody are all linked to the company that worked on the bridge during that time. the indian government has agreed to compensate families of the victims. >> u.s. president joe biden sent condolences. >> and iran said it indicted 1,000 people for the nationwide antigovernment protests. >> the trials will be held in public later this week as part of a massive effort to end protests for basic women's
